DVINNY
2-time 10K winner
I've spent years doing that on bodybuilding message boards. Makes me want to :brick:What do you say DVINNY? Maybe we should start an exercise/weight loss thread on the STB section especially with the holidays upon us.
But really, it's very simple. It's not about carbs (well somewhat), but it's more about quantity.
FOR AN AVERAGE MALE:
If you make sure that you eat no more than 400 calories per sitting, and have at least 2 hrs between meals, you can lose an amazing amount of weight with minimal cardio.
If you eat 400 calories per meal at 6:00 am, 9, noon, 3, and 6:00 pm. That's 5 meals at 3 hrs apart for a total of 2,000 calories. Do 30-40 minutes of cardio (walk, elliptical, etc.) at least 3-4 times a week, and you WILL burn off fat.
It is important to not miss any of the 5 meals, and of course the healthier and cleaner the 400 calories are the faster you'll lose the weight, but I guarantee if your 400 calories was from ANY type of food, you'll still lose the weight.
I am usually 250 lbs. in the offseason, and compete in bodybuilding at 198 lbs. and in powerlifting at 220 lbs. I've taken 50 lbs. off on 7 different occasions now. It's now that hard, it's just a matter of doing it.
